seems like i’m trying way too hard
A
and like i haven’t tried at all
C#m B
hard as stone but feeling all the weight
C#m A
feeling all the weight that’s crushing me

when you come around

you’re like a little slice of heaven when i’m coming down
B B
lifting me up above the clouds

i’ll sleep tonight but the wars far from over

C#m
nothing comes for free at least that’s what they say
B
if i had the chance i’d do it all again
C#m
if i had the chance i’d do it all again
A
racing against the clock trying to relieve the pressure
C#m
pushing you away so we can be together
B
carry me today i’ll carry you forever
C#m A
let’s take a chance and we’ll see if this won’t last
C#m B
hard as a stone but feeling all the weight

there’s a car pulling up and the man who’s inside
B
takes a deep breath as he straightens his tie
A E
it’s nothing new cause he’s done this before
B
she knew it as soon as he knocked on the door
A E
please someone please tell me i must be dreaming
